She turned her head, and a person emerged from under the trees in the courtyard.
The night had deepened, the lantern illuminating only a small patch of ground beneath. Pei Yunmeng walked towards her from the shadows, his striking features softened by the dim yellow light. Coming to a halt in front of her, he furrowed his brows and studied her for a moment before taking off his cloak and draping it over her shoulders.
Lu Tong asked, "Why are you here?"
"I came looking for you," he sighed, "but there were people in your room. I didn't want to disturb your heart-to-heart, so I waited here."
Heart-to-heart?
Lu Tong, surprised, said, "Doctor Ji came to give me acupuncture."
"Oh," he raised an eyebrow, "but when he left, he looked distraught."
Lu Tong: "..."
She didn't know where his words "distraught" came from; Ji Xun had seemed perfectly normal to her.
